Natural magnets or loadstones are formed when molten lava containing iron or iron oxides cools and is magnetised by the earth’s magnetic force. When the lava is molten, it does not exhibit magnetic properties. But when it cools, the tiny molten particles of iron twist around to align with the earth’s magnetic poles and are trapped in this position when the iron solidifies.

As children, we have all been fascinated by pieces of iron .that attracted and repelled each other with unimaginable force. We played with the little pieces in awe of the ‘magic’ they seemed to exude until parents and teachers explained to us that they were ‘magnets’ and that Nature had invested in them properties to attract and repel.

Magnets regulate the natural systems of the body and so help the efficacy of any medication being taken. Therefore, while undergoing magneto-therapy, there is no need to discontinue the current mode of treatment.

Magnets have been used in healing for thousands of years. Egyptian nobility were reported to have worn magnetic jewellery to preserve youth and beauty. African tribes used magnetic ores in food preparation. According to Minda Hsu and Chikuo Fong, two modern researchers of biomagnetism, magnetic therapy has been used in China for more than two thousand years. The oldest known medical book, the Chinese Yellow Emperor’s Book of Internal Medicine, thought to have been written about 2000 BC, mentions the use of magnets on acupuncture points.

Magnetic phenomena have held a strange fascination for the human mind throughout the ages. Lodestone, as the natural deposits of magnetic iron ore were called in ancient times, was the first magnetic material known to man.

As we have just mentioned, magnets have two poles -north and south. Now let us see if both the poles, when applied to the body, exercise the same effect. Dr Hahnemann, the founder of Homeopathy, understood this difference and prepared two separate medicines from the two poles for completely different symptoms. Concurrently, scientists also found out that the magnetisation of water with the North Pole neutralised bacteria in it, while the South Pole did just the opposite – it hastened the development of bacteria.

There are many types of magnets. Let’s look at them in some detail.

Magnetism is universal. It is everywhere. We live and breathe it. It is one of the basic principles of existence. The earth is a huge magnet and its magnetic field can be detected over 100,000 kms away. It is not only the earth but even the human body and the tiniest atoms in nature that are magnets. The sun, moon and other celestial bodies are also giant magnets. So the force of magnetism is all around and within us.

Injuries of all kinds are also helped by the application of magnets. If the injury is without any bleeding, apply the South Pole to eliminate pain and swelling. If there is any blood oozing from the injury, apply the north polarity on the point from where the blood is oozing. The north polarity can be applied on stitches too to hasten the healing of the cut. If the injury is long, both the poles can be applied together; the North Pole to the upper or right side and the South Pole to the lower or left side of the injury. The injury can be cleaned with magnetised water. Drinking magnetised water will also help.
